  • Robin created two cornucopia, one upright filled with fruit, and one angled, with the fruit spilling.  Both sculptures flank the main exterior staircase of the building.  The work consists of three different colors:  gray cement of the sculpture, limestone-like color of the middle section, and the granite-like color of the bases, which matches the building.  "Cornucopiae" is designed as an ornament without symbolic intent.
